"What about sea level rise? IPCC estimates sea level could rise two feet (0.6 meters) by 2100. Does that sound apocalyptic or even 'unmanageable'?"

I'll take catastrophic and unmanageable for $1000, please. I also think SLR will be a lot closer to 2M than to 2'.

"I also care about getting the facts and science right and have in recent months corrected inaccurate and apocalyptic news media coverage of fires in the Amazon and fires in California, both of which have been improperly presented as resulting primarily from climate change."

He's wrong. Here's some good news, tho. The world isn't gonna end in 12 years. What will end is any chance of holding the temperature increase to less than 1.5 degrees unless we reduce emissions by 50% in the next 12 years, and reach zero emissions by 2050. Rat thought it was already too late to hold it at 1.5 degrees when the Paris Accords were signed.
